Nalgene Water Bottle

Nalgene originated in 1949 as part of the Nalge Company, a manufacturer of laboratory equipment based in Rochester, New York. In the 1960s and 70s, scientists began using the brand's leak-proof, durable laboratory bottles for hiking and camping. Recognizing this trend, the company officially launched its consumer products division.

Today, Nalgene is a leading name in the sustainable water bottle market, famous for its BPA-free Tritan plastic bottles. The majority of Nalgene's primary reusable water bottles continue to be manufactured in the United States at its facility in New York. The brand is currently owned by Thermo Fisher Scientific, a global leader in serving science.
